Dear lord, first there was the BP oil spill at the Pacific Ocean, now this container ship has cracked open an opening, spilling oil all over the sea. This won't end well, I reckon.
The cracks, after Rena was pounded by heavy swells, have elevated fears that it could break up and send more than 1300 tonnes of oil into the sea. Oil already leaked from the ship continues to wash up on the Bay of Plenty coastline, and critics have asked why so little oil was salvaged in the days immediately after the boat first struck the Astrolabe reef last week.
Now that the New Zealand government has to deal with this while cleaning up Christchurch, this can't go any worse. Other than that, the container ship is shipping some of the most hazardous substance on the deck, if this situation worsens, the cleanup effort will probably be massive. Damn oils.
Wait, what? Of course, identical twins looks the same because they share the same genetic codes, but in a psychological perspective, they develop different personalities, as environment hold the key on individual development, study says.
The research has implications for everyone, because it shows that environmental factors along with genetics play a role in determining who we are. Led by Professor Susan Clark, researchers spent eight years studying teenage twins to find out why identical twins can be so different. What they found is that while identical twins have the same genes, the biochemical reactions that turn those genes on and off are controlled by the environment.
So that explains even twins look the same, they behave differently and at my first hand experience it's quite true. Take my friend's twin cousin for example: they are completely different beings, and that's also something you can tell them apart. One is clever and playful, and the other is rowdy and shoot Nerf bullets onto my eyes. Ouch, isn't that amazing?
